snuttall: YHM re: green ARB There is a problem e-mailing you (error message). Can you try e-mailing me please. Thanks, Mark

BTTT No budding racers out there?

Is this of any interest?

Thanks for all the kind comments about the car, I'm beginning to wonder why I'm selling it........ Oh yes, I've remembered, I've bought a Mega....

Thanks Mike. 2 questions: What's the secret to success in Megas? Why so many *evil* .....????

If you think it's exciting spectating, imagine what it's like in the car as 30+ cars head up to the hairpin at 90 mph.........

Nah......Me? Scared of Trev? Never!! Looking at who is racing in Megas this year, I think Supers may be a much safer place to be.......

Hello Richard, long time, no see. Not strictly true 'cos I spotted you at Donington last year, but you were deep in conversation with a customer & I didn't want to disturb you. ☹️ Sadly my Supers car is for sale ☹️ But I've bought a mega, so I'm going to play with the big boys this season.....

Thanks for the link FTH.

2003 Academy car (first registered 4.4.2003). I bought the car in 2004 & raced in SuperGrads in 2005 (13th), 2006 (9th) & 2007 (7th). Forged pistons fitted by McMillan MotorSport in 2005. Safety devices roll cage, side impact bar & rear wheel intrusion bar. 3 front anti roll bars (green, red & orange) Adjustable rear anti roll bar. New discs & pads all round 2007. AP Racing brake balance valve. Flexible braided rear brake hoses to allow the rear calipers to float giving more even rear brake pad wear. Plumbed-in Lifeline fire extinguisher system (Expiry date: November 2009). 6 point Caterham drivers harness (FIA expiry: end 2008). Momo black suede steering wheel. High visibility doors fitted (N/S is cosmetically challenged). Black screen surround, wipers & headlights. Car is prepared to SuperGrad specification, only part needed to race is a seat (many racers opt for a foam bag seat made specifically for the driver). Suspension is race set-up (camber, caster, ride height, rake, toe) & corner weighed for 76Kg driver (me!). Car will be corner weighted & ballast adjusted for the new driver. Car qualified on Pole at the Donington Caterham race Festival this year & 2nd at Thruxton in 2006. It could be a race winning car in the right hands……..

😬 The real world of Caterham maintenance....... Thinking about it, couldn't you have reached the plug with your foot & carefully kicked it within reach of your free arm.......... Edited by - Mark Gregory on 2 Oct 2007 11:55:14

Steve T: YHM

Nick: Hmmmm, e-mail was sent immediately after I posted, strange . I'll definitely have the rear wings & nosecone (sorry Neil ). Perhaps if you could try e-mailing me your address I'll send you a cheque. Hopefully it will work the other way round..... Thanks, Mark

YHM Re: Nose cone & rear wings.

Guys, I think you're talking at cross-purposes here. Mark & Paul are referring to the thread diameter of the bolt, whereas Ray is talking about the allen key (cap head - hex. socket) across flats (A/F) measurement. Good luck getting it out Ray, be sure to smear plenty of grease on the new bolt when you re-assemble.

Avoid all these jokers, stick it on Ebake.

Boss is obviously feeling a bit weak after a hard week gutting kippers. According to my manual the brake caliper bolts (7/16" UNF x 1.25") should be tightened to 40-45 lbft.

Greg: Yes, the ride height will need to be adjusted when changing from CR322s to A539s. There is a minimum ride height of 120mm in all Grads classes, measured under the chassis rails. You normally set to 125mm on new tyres to allow for tyre wear & suspension settlement. In theory you could adjust all the platforms without the need to flat floor (fronts by x-turns, rears by y-turns) to reset the ride height whilst maintaining the rake, but it's probably worth having it flat floored, especially if you're planning to hillclimb & race. Anyway, what's all this stuff about hillclimbing, come & have a go at racing...... HTH, Mark SuperGrad 109
